  • Social Institutions in Kent 1480-1660
    Archaeologia Cantiana Vol. 75 1961 SOCIAL INSTITUTIONS IN KENT 1480-1660 III. THE STRUCTURE OF ASPIRATIONS A. The poor THE persistent and the principal concern of Kentish donors, if our whole long period may be taken in view, was the care of the poor. The immense sum of £102,519 7s., amounting to 40-72 per cent, of the total of the charitable funds of this rich county, was poured into one or another of the several forms of poor relief. The largest amount was provided for the relief of the poor in their own homes, a total of £52,242 7s. having been given for this purpose, constituting more than one-fifth (20'75 per cent.) of all charities and considerably more than that given for any other specific charitable use. As we have already noted, a heavy proportion (90-05 per cent.) of this total was vested in the form of permanent endowments, thereby establishing institutional mechanisms for the alleviation of what may be regarded as the most pressing of the social problems of the age. Another great sum, £44,614 3s., was provided for almshouse establishments in all parts of the county, this being the second largest amount given for any one charitable use and amounting to 17-72 per cent, of the whole of the charitable re- sources of Kent.1 In addition, the sum of £5,067 17s., of which about 97 per cent. (96-60 per cent.) was capital, was designated for general charitable uses, which in Kent as elsewhere almost invariably meant that the income was employed for some form of poor relief.
